“东南天子气”之演生与江南区域政治格局的形成

On the Evolution of Imperial Bearing and the Formation of Political Patterns in Southern China

长江流域一如黄河流域是中国文明的发源地,然而,自先秦至两汉,中国政治的重心是在黄河流域,但在这一历史的漫长岁月中,江南地区因得天独厚的区位优势,政治势力的演生不断加剧。汉魏之际,随着中原统一王朝的崩溃,江南地区便日益成为传承中原封建文明的正朔所在。着重探寻秦汉四百年间,江南地区政治势力与区域格局形成的历史过程及其深刻影响。

As we know, the Changjiang River Valley, like the Yellow River Valley, is the origin of Chinese civilization. However, the center of Chinese politics was along the Yellow River from the pre-Qin times to the times of West and East Han dynasties. In this long period, political powers evolved in the vast area south of the Changjiang River with its endowed geographical advantage. With the decline of the unified empire in central north China during the reign of the state of Wei, the South became the place where feudal civilization developed and inherited civilization of the Central Plains in cen- tral north China. The paper focuses on the development and impact of the political forces and the political pattern in southem China during the 400 years or so of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
